Mia's engine........

Good idea Joe! :thumbup:
Not much clearance on the shaft for a pulley. What sort of revs would it need? :scratch:

You will start getting voltage with as little as 10 RPM. Depending on the design voltage they can go up quite a bit more. The polarity will change depending on the direction of rotation.

Thanks Joe.
Something to keep in mind, for later....... :thumbup:
I've been "watching paint (and varnish) dry", most of last week. While life got in the way, the rest of the time. :(
Puzzling how to make the flywheels, Mia manageable. I remembered, she had included the 1.5mm allen key, as part of the game.
Hmmmm. This bit goes here, somewhere........
So, I drilled n tapped the half shafts M5. She can have a couple of capheads and washers to play with!
The alloy hubs will be sleevelocked onto the half shafts, then the flywheels bored to suit.
Looking a little more respectable, I think......

Hi David
Lovely intro into engineering for Mia. :clap: :clap:
As an aside, I noticed your tailstock arrangement for the rotary table on the mill, I have a similar RT (Soba 4") & was looking at getting a tailstock to match from the usual supplier but have not noticed anything that bears resemblance to your set up, seems to be sitting on a tapered rising block ? is it home made or do you have any ref / link to it... drawings maybe?
regards
George.
